How to Repeat history command?

Assume i have typed 4 commands in the past like
Code:
vi `ls -t |head -n 1`
tail -2 test.txt
ls -lrt | grep "/etc/profile.d"
pwd

Now if i type r p it should execute the command "pwd" likewise r t should execute tail -2 test.txt.

Note: esc k and using up arrow and down arrow will get this work done. But i need to fix it with alias. Thanks!
